Abstract

Incubation of rat hepatocytes with LiCl resulted in an overall increase in the activity ratio of glycogen synthase (GS), concomitantly with a decrease in active GS kinase-3 levels. GS total activity was also increased in a dose- and time-dependent manner. This latter effect correlated with the amount of immunoreactive enzyme determined by immunoblotting. Cycloheximide and actinomycin-D did not modify LiCl action on GS activity. Lithium ions did not induce any changes in GS mRNA levels. Furthermore, the increase in the total amount of GS induced by LiCl was further augmented after addition of a specific, calpain and proteasome inhibitor. Our results indicate that LiCl increases hepatocyte GS activity through increasing both the activation state of the enzyme and its cellular content. This latter increase is mediated through a modification of the proteasome-regulated proteolytic pathway of the enzyme.
